"I ate it too fast, swallowed it all at once, and didn't taste anything. Father, can you give me another one? I promise I'll chew it slowly this time."
Lin Chen licked his lips, still not having his fill.
"You cheeky rascal, don't even think about fooling me! I bet your hide's starting to itch again." How could Lin Chen's little trick escape Old Man Lin's discerning eyes?
However, even though he was scolding him, Old Man Lin's hand was busy. He sneaked another pill to Lin Chen while no one was looking.
He had quite a few offspring, a total of eight. This was to prevent his other children from noticing and accusing him of favoritism.
However, he had been watching his second eldest son's efforts lately, and even when compared to the eldest son, there was not much difference. So, rewarding with an extra pill was not a big deal.
Having learned his lesson from before, Lin Chen ate carefully this time, fearing he might accidentally swallow it whole again.
